select Configure Multidrop
drop Settings dialog.
2. If necessary, change the default address to match
the address of your multidropped scanner and
click OK.
If the host serial port is not connected in ESP, you
will see the following popup message:
ESP is not currently connected to the multidrop concen-
trator. Do you wish to establish a connection now?

Notice that the Force Connection option is checked. Do not change this.

settings.
When you click Connect, you will be connecting to
your concentrator, which can then relay commands to
the scanner whose address was set in the Multidrop
Settings dialog.
5. Click Connect.
6. You should see the CONNECTED message in green at
the bottom of the window along with the scanner's
Multidrop address.
